Summer is on the horizon and we know many of you have some awesome travel plans! Last year we walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain and it was truly incredible. We used to daydream about it as roomies at Trinity University and we finally got the chance to make it a reality. Today we’re going to share our experience with y’all and offer some tips and tricks if you decide to make the journey yourself!

There’s so much to talk about so we’re going to break this blog post into two sections. It’s Christie here with the first one!
